Can I get conditional admission to an undergraduate or graduate school?

The IESL program has conditional admission partnerships with four local institutions. If you meet all other requirements for admission except the English proficiency requirement, you can be conditionally accepted to one of these schools, join the IESL program, and either take another TOEFL/IELTS test or pass out of the appropriate level for transfer.

When we receive your application, $50.00 application fee, and $150.00 tuition deposit, we will prepare an I-20 and a letter of admission for you. You will also need to pay the I-901 fee of $200 to the Department of Homeland Security prior to your interview at the American embassy or consulate nearest you. With these documents, you can apply to the embassy or consulate for a visa.

We will give you more detailed information on the visa application process after you apply.

The tuition for an 8-week session is $3,350.00 and for a 10-week session is $4,175.00.

All students are required to have health insurance. You must show proof of insurance when you register or buy the school insurance. For updated insurance pricing information, please visit the Tuition & Fees page.

No entrance exam is required for the Intensive English Program. Students take placement tests when they arrive to determine which classes will be most appropriate for them.

The TOEFL iBT is not offered on campus, but we help students register for the test in nearby San Jose or Santa Cruz. Groups of students often go to one of these locations each session to take the TOEFL.
